Pair escape after shark attacks boat in Western Australia

Two men in an inflatable have reportedly survived a shark attack off the southwest coast of Western Australia.

The pair were near Castle Rock, Dunsborough when a shark attacked and punctured their boat just after 5pm Saturday, the ABC reported on its website.

The men made it to shore uninjured, the ABC said, adding that the beach was closed and that police and Fisheries officers are investigating.

A man lost a hand and part of his other arm in a shark attack in southern Western Australia a week ago.
